Transport Workers Union president Roger Toussaint enjoyed freedom yesterday, and showed it by
defiant speech slamming the MTA's desire to restart contract talks and wanting to fight the Taylor Law. Toussain't point about the Taylor Law is picked up by the NY TImes, "The law doesn't have any consequences for employers who negotiate in bad faith or fail to resolve contracts in a timely manner." Oh, snap, Peter Kalikow! But Mayor Bloomberg is upset with other people, saying,
"The thing here that people should be outraged about are the people that marched with Roger Toussaint across the bridge. What kind of message does that send to our kids?" That's a veiled refernce to teachers union head Randi Weingarten if we ever heard one! At any rate, Toussaint said he was treated decently in jail - no lawsuits over that.
The Post says that Toussaint got out of jail early by using an old criminal defense lawyer trick - hey, you gotta work it!

This is rediculous. I hope the arbitration is very hard on the union... the days of union extortion making all of us pay will hopefully come to an end one day soon.
People who talk about and end of "union extortion" are amusing, mostly because they don't seem to understand how capitalism works, but most likely wouldn't want to live in a world without it.
No, we understand all too well. The type of public unions we have now do nothing but bolster a sense of entitlement and with it little or no work ethic among most public employees. I won't get into how it contributes to increasing costs and taxes for the rest of us. People are not forced to work for the MTA, they willingly take the jobs and the system is vital to the function of the city, hence the reason for the Taylor law. They willingly and knowingly broke the law and thus have to pay the consequences.
Roger, I'm With You. Let's get rid of the Taylor Law. Why should we be required to have union employees at all in government? As of now we have workers who are generally overpaid in most jobs compared to the free market private sector. They have defined benefit pensions - where the rest of us have 401K's. They can't be fired for poor performance except in the most extreme circumstances.
If you don't like your job's get new ones. No shortage of applicants at the TA.
hey, new yorkers wake up, open our eyes to see that the Taylor law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is from 1967 to the present that this law has a chiling effect on us.............next time we have another strike, we must make outlaw the Taylor law one of our demands........TO make sure this law is unconstitutinal, just go and check the First Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 17 of the New York State Constitution.
